An offline assignment can be used when students do not need to upload any work into FLO – for example, when doing presentations, posters or lab books. The assignment tool can be used to manage and return marks and feedback.
The benefits of creating an offline assignment are:
Communicates assignment requirements to students
Adds due date to topic calendar
Allows for electronic management of feedback and marks

It is usually not necessary to set a due date for offline assignments, as no submission occurs through FLO. If this is the case, you might like to un-check the box next to the due date, to disable the date for the assignment.
